Presented by the St. Lawrence Market, the annual Evening at the Market took place on Thursday, November 10th, in support of charitable partner Second Harvest. From 7-10pm at the historic South Market, guests experienced a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure featuring tasting dishes from all 64 St. Lawrence Market merchants.
Tickets to the fundraiser are $75 and include all food and drink for the event. Due to incredible positive response, the event sold out two weeks in advance and has raised $30,000 for Second Harvest!

Live entertainment at Evening at the Market included aerial circus performances by Zero Gravity Circus.
Below is a recap of Evening at the Market where my friend and I enjoyed a variety of dishes from the upper and lower levels of the South Market. Sadly, I missed the cooking demonstrations from chef Claudio Aprile; I was too caught up with eating everything and totally forgot about it! :(
